Question 1

How can ongoing stress affect the nervous system and body?

Accepted Answer

Stress involves normal responses within the nervous system and other body systems that help us respond and adapt to everyday demands and challenges.During prolonged periods of stress, some people notice physical changes such as increased muscle tension, changes in breathing or sleep, headaches, fatigue, or difficulty physically relaxing.At LiveLoveLife Chiropractic in Woollahra, Dr Xavier Mirouze considers how physical tension, spinal and musculoskeletal function and individual stress patterns may relate to the way a person is feeling and functioning. Gentle Network Spinal Care may be considered as part of an individualised chiropractic approach where appropriate.People experiencing anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns should also seek appropriate support from a qualified mental health or medical professional. Chiropractic care is not a substitute for mental health treatment.

Feeling unable to switch off can have many contributing factors. During periods of ongoing stress, some people notice that they remain physically tense, breathe differently, have difficulty settling, or continue to feel “on” even when they are trying to rest.Physical tension, sleep, lifestyle, work demands and emotional stress can all play a role, and the experience can be different for each person.At LiveLoveLife Chiropractic in Woollahra, Dr Xavier Mirouze considers your individual history, physical tension and relevant spinal and musculoskeletal findings when determining whether gentle chiropractic care may be appropriate.Persistent difficulty relaxing, significant sleep disturbance, anxiety or other concerning symptoms should also be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
